Chapter 224: Both of You Are Talented



"Your target is me? What do you mean by that? We’ve never had any prior contact," Zhang Yi said, intrigued.

Yang Xinxin explained softly, "I originally thought my foolish sister was dead. With her intellect and capabilities, she could manage in the entertainment industry but saving lives? She’d be lucky to save herself."

"Therefore, I never placed my hopes on her."

Zhang Yi asked, "And then?"

"Then, my phone received messages from the outside world." She pulled out her phone from her clothes—a device Zhang Yi had never seen before. It seemed to be a custom-made product, hence its powerful signal reception.

"Its performance rivals that of a supercomputer. Just a little analysis, and I could find all the information about you, Brother," she said, tilting her head to examine Zhang Yi’s handsome, determined profile.

"Xinxin really admires you, Brother! Even though you were just an ordinary warehouse manager, you achieved so much in the apocalypse."

Zhang Yi felt a chill down his spine. A top hacker could easily access your information in an era of highly developed information technology.

"How much do you know about me?" Zhang Yi asked, uneasy.

"Almost everything!" Yang Xinxin said confidently. "Anything that can be found online, I can uncover with a few keystrokes."

"Like your involvement in the Walmart South China warehouse theft case, your bank transfer records, and the numerous neighbors you killed in the Yue Lu District!"

She suddenly covered her face with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes filled with infatuation. "After reading your story, Xinxin became obsessed!"

Zhang Yi thought She’s a yandere!

Being targeted by a beautiful, tragic, and crazy girl was both thrilling and unsettling. Not knowing if it was a good or bad thing, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said, "So you knew I was living with Yang Siya and Zhou Ke’er, and you used them to contact me. Is that right?"

Yang Xinxin nodded, "Yes, exactly! Although I wasn\'t sure if you would come to save me, I knew if you didn’t, I’d come to find you."

"But you did come to save me, and Xinxin is so happy!" she exclaimed, lightly grasping Zhang Yi’s coat hem and blushing.

Zhang Yi was speechless. He thought he had everything under control, only to be caught in someone else’s plan. This cunning girl was indeed someone to be kept on his side rather than as an enemy.

"Xinxin, I have a question. You and that monster cat seem to have a good relationship. Will it follow your orders completely?" Zhang Yi asked.

Yang Xinxin pondered, placing a slender finger on her lips, then shook her head. "Brother, have you ever kept a cat?"

"With cats, you can be their friend. They’ll be close to whoever treats them well. But being their master is too difficult."

"Especially with stray cats."

Zhang Yi rubbed his head in frustration. "That’s tricky then! I was hoping to recruit a powerful ally!"

Looking through the rearview mirror, Zhang Yi sensed something following them through the heavy snow. His instincts told him it was the monster cat.

"Is it reluctant to part with Yang Xinxin?" Zhang Yi mumbled. Cats are unpredictable creatures. Domesticated pets aside, stray or rural cats retain their wild nature, are distrustful of humans, and are difficult to tame.

"Maybe I can try. Plenty of cat food, fish snacks, and treats are in the warehouse. Those might be more appealing than human food," Zhang Yi mused. "I haven’t tried them, so I can’t compare, but it’s worth a shot!"

Back at Cloud Manor, Zhang Yi thanked Fatty Xu with a food package and a limited-edition Madoka Kaname pillow, which Fatty Xu joyfully clung to. For Uncle You, Zhang Yi provided two large barrels of gasoline, a precious resource for him.

"Thank you both for your hard work today," Zhang Yi said, smiling.

Happy with the generous reward and easy mission, Uncle You and Fatty Xu left contentedly, offering their help again in the future. Zhang Yi, generous to his allies, never hesitated to reward them.

"See you next time!" they parted ways, and Zhang Yi brought Yang Xinxin and Lu Keran back to the shelter. Starved and frozen for over a month at Tianqing Academy, the two girls were thrilled to find themselves in the warm, luxurious refuge.

"Wow, this place is like a dream!" Yang Xinxin exclaimed, while Lu Keran, usually tough, cried tears of joy.

"As long as you help me and ensure this place’s security, you can live here happily forever," Zhang Yi promised.

Lu Keran swore her loyalty, "Big Brother, I’ll follow you wholeheartedly from now on!"

Yang Xinxin shyly asked, "Does helping you include... daily life?"

Zhang Yi, slightly exasperated, knelt in front of her, patting her cold cheek. "Such a young girl, yet you know so much!"

"But your main task is to help me maintain the security of this shelter. Got it?"

Despite her beauty, Zhang Yi saw Yang Xinxin primarily as a top computer expert. Her usefulness far exceeded her attractiveness. His words relieved her caution but left her feeling slightly disappointed, and she wondered if he found her disability repulsive.

Women are complicated creatures. If Zhang Yi showed interest, she’d be wary; if he didn’t, she’d feel rejected.
